>business visa complications
Is this due to the reported income now requiring 30+ million yen instead of 5 mil? I don’t understand why this would be allowed problem for him unless he just wants to avoid paying for what he has established there. He’s extremely rich, the problems are probably coming from his own choices

>I don’t understand why this would be allowed problem for him
It's most likely due to the fact he stopped making videos after his son was born, he more or less came in on the expectation of being a Japan influencer/promoter of the country, in the past year he's maybe made 1-2 videos a month if that. All the videos are 75% just his son walking aronud or laughing, 20% is him stating where he is and showing some B roll, 5% is him maybe saying he's not sure what to do in terms of videos.
His last video said no more vlogs, so it's probably safe to assume he is going back to weekly/biweekly content creation about Japan/meme reviews/etc to show he can pull the 125,000 USD or whatever a year to prove his visa and fame is relevant.

PDP has enough fuck you money to start a shell company if he wanted and employ 2 people to do editing if he wanted for a business visa, IIRC he has swedish and japanese citizenship anyways so it's a non issue.

He doesn't have Japanese citizenship or even PR when he was in England he said it took them years and years to get business visas to go to Japan. Now they have made having business visas hard sending all the Chinese and jeets home

This board is 99 percent lies. I've even had yanks who want to tell me I'm wrong about my own country despite them never having been here but "seen YouTube videos and you're wrong" I stop bothering coming here mostly
Now for business visa it needs to be a legitimate business which YouTuber isn't so he's basically a tourist at this point which is why the japs are sending them all home who are exploiting the country. You would feel the same about Chinese and jeets coming to YOUR country exploiting it.

No, most likely the need to hire a Japanese employee. He probably doesn't want to say the quiet part out loud, which is that hiring a full-time employee in a country where it's difficult to dismiss employees(to the point where many jap companies just assign no work to employees they want to get rid of in order to encourage them to quit, since firing them is difficult and likely to create a legal dispute)
Raising paid-in capital to 10m+ also creates additional tax and corporate compliance concerns.
I put like $400k into a holdings company here so I could use japan as a base in asia rather than HK since gommunists raped the place and they're gonna kick my ass out for the same reason, refusal(really, inability because it's a massive disadvantage) to hire an employee. Rich people will probably be kicked out less urgently, but I've basically been told that I need to fuck off by 2028.

>You would feel the same about Chinese and jeets coming to YOUR country exploiting it.
the problem with this is that they're doing it the wrong way. the rot is already baked-in. there's enough chinese and jeets who've naturalized that all this will do is create a pocket industry of naturalized/PR'd foreigners who are willing to be on payroll doing nothing(where most locals wouldn't) so they'll just continue to do shitty "buy an airbnb for a visa" schemes while honest people who set up companies in good-faith and intend to follow the rules/laws are pushed out due to refusal to comply with disadvantageous regulations.
they're basically handing the visa to big corps, rich chinese and jeets. the right way to oust them is to prohibit companies that exist solely for the purposes of property holdings and rent-seeking, which smarter countries like singapore, thailand, and australia already have.

When it's your house, especially a nice one, you may work harder to maintain it. If you don't, it will eventual become uninhabitable. The idea of welfare in this analogy was you would of course set aside some food or money for a sick relative or Grandma. Now thanks to Democracy TM, everyone on the block can move in and claim the food set aside for the infirm and elderly.
It's actually insane to do this to another person. These people are evil. Hope this helps.

because it's illegal on-paper to just have someone on company payroll who does nothing and no japs want to deal with that when they can just wagecuck. in practice people do this all the time but adding a gaijin who needs to be vetted by immigration periodically into the mix sketches them out.
in pewd's case he's probably set up via contracts with local companies, lawyers, and paper-pushers that handle all the "hard japanese stuff" like dealing with banking, tax reporting, and corporate compliance for him and has no genuine role to offer a local employee.
his choices would be to hire a bilingual executive assistant full-time or continue operating as-is and bailing when his visa expires. it's a pretty clear choice because there's no real way for him to vet a prospective employee the way there is to vet a law firm or service that provides said type of assistant on contract.
there's also the financial aspect of needing to pay a full-time salary vs. having people on retainer w/ any additional services rendered as-needed.

australia is having the same issue of foreign speculators creating demand pressure for housing which leads to massive inflation of property value and "aussie" citizens who are actually chinese/indian/whatever responding to that demand by engaging in speculative markets that price-out locals, but their actual on-the-books laws prohibit this. it's the same shit in thailand where you can buy property by having a thai's name on it.
every country contends with this kind of shit and japan's not even close to responding to it in the right way, which would be explicitly prohibiting visa acquisition through a company that solely exists to hold property or seek rent. they're also going to realize there are a lot of "japanese" who have their loyalty elsewhere, but much less than in western countries since they prohibit dual-citizenship

What is he actually doing besides driving the cost of living for the locals? Does he at least know how to speak japanese? Or is he one of many westeners that are "trying to find themselves" while not contributing to Japan in any meaningful way?

He's fluent. He's loaded so not leeching. Tokyo is a bit overcrowded but they manage housing well by constantly doing constructions. Tear-downs and rebuilds are a part of Japanese culture really, since they deal with the threat of earthquakes, fires, tsunamis and typhoons constantly. His contribution is probably just the good PR from his videos showing slice of life of him with his wife and son there.

>What is he actually doing besides driving the cost of living for the locals?
What do you mean? He lives outside of Kanagawa or something like that plenty of open houses.
>Does he at least know how to speak japanese?
Pretty sure in his vlogs he mentioned he speaks it N1 level
>Or is he one of many westeners that are "trying to find themselves" while not contributing to Japan in any meaningful way?
He's paying taxes and shoveling money into the economy, he's not some weeb living off NEETBUX or JP teacher salary from the gubment eating donki value ramen and drinking one cup sake.

if your business is bona fide, real, and employee people (societal benefit in the national interest of Japan), you don't have anything to worry about.
If your business is nonsense, bullshit, or a one-man operation that only benefits you, they're telling you to fuck off (rightfully so)
The concepts and rationale behind these corrections are universal, unless the country is on purpose importing undesirables to replace their own populace

Despite being one of Asia’s poorest countries, more than 100,000 “international students” from Nepal have come to Japan. Furthermore, with over 40,000 chefs and their families, and another 40,000 holding visas for highly skilled professionals in fields such as technology, humanities, and international business, Nepal far outpaces other developing nations.
The fact that Nepal has established a fully functioning system and network for sending workers to Japan is one of the reasons Japan has tightened its visa issuance policies. The skilled worker visa was intended to attract highly skilled professionals, such as renowned chefs specializing in French or Italian cuisine—which are popular in Japan—or Persian carpet artisans. However, in reality, it has become a loophole exploited by fake chefs who have no actual cooking experience and have only watched cooking videos on YouTube.
There are Indian restaurants with few customers all over Japan, but since the cycle involves these Nepalese “chefs”—who entered the country with the help of recruitment agencies—using the restaurants as a base to take on more lucrative jobs, the restaurants don’t need to turn a profit.

>requiring 30+ million yen
are true
and I don't know how Japanese tax code and capital gains tax / declaration works
but at 30mil yen / year you'd need about ~3 to 3,5million€ to get the necessary income as capital gains (on average, with some sequence of return risk)
you don't need to spend it all, because 5% SWR would be too much, just declare as income
and that amount is... just regular FIRE

It’s so funny seeing firsties who think immigrating to their countries is easy getting smacked with the cold, wet slap of reality.
Immigration policy in OECD countries is absolutely draconian and in desperate of reform. If you disagree then no Nippon for you, gaijin.

I got offered work in Japan several times when I was a hotel manager. But when I investigated it Japan's visa system is possibly the worst in the world, designed exclusively for exploiting young foreign workers. And I've worked in maybe 6 counties, and half my staff were international so I've got a good bead on this.
With work visas what you're really looking for is
A. Does the visa entitle you to work for any employer. If you're tied to a single employer that's a recipe for abuse, wage theft and exploitation. It means the employer has already refused to pay enough to attract workers with full work rights, or is involved in serious labour law violations.
B. Parity of tax/ services. A major issue is counties which tax migrant workers at a high general rate, to pay for services migrants can't access. Japan levies a number of unfair taxes against young people and workers, so you're looking at losing maybe 40% of your income upfront to the Japanese government, for services which you can never access, i think the residency permit cap just went up a staggering 30-fold.
C. Return on investment. As you work for longer, provide more value to local business, is your return on that increasing or decreasing over time.
The worst possible system is the one which forces migrants to leave, reapply, leave, reapply denying migrants who might live in Japan ten years from leasing a flat, starting a business, they reserve the right to rip everything you invested in from your hands with no justification. Stealing.
Japan's labour crisis is driven by third world industrial conditions in a developed county, workers are desperate to flee and the majority of migrants are being brought in to prop up the system local workers are fleeing from. It's a total lobster pot. Fuck Japan.
>>
I get head hunted because there are very few hotel managers, as the industry runs on exploited cleaners and clerks who can't study or be unskilled.
Common feature of Japanese job offer:
agency wants you as a candidate, to sell you on to the highest bidder. So you immediately get bait-and-switched.
One way contracts, where you're bound under Japanese law, but the employer can change you contract after you sign it, so it's not a contract in any western sense of the word.
Lying about the work location. I don't know why anyone would fall for this but a Japanese company registered in one location thinks they send you to work for other businesses, anywhere in Japan, and still claim to be your employer. So the Hokkaido thot school will transfer you to a business partner in the middle of nowhere the second you arrive, acting as an illegal recruitment agent. Legal in Japan, apparently.
Companies that claim the right to use your image. The answer is just no. Never let them do it. You have no control over how your image is used and no legal rights, you could find your face on a late night add for sex services, or to scam people into buying non-existent products. Japan is notorious for abusing the image of foreign workers for advertising without consent. This goes beyond what would generally be called white monkey work.
Withholding your salary. They will only pay you after thefirst six months. Yea right. Cancel my visa after 5, 5 months free labour.
And you'd think that more valuable staff would be better treated but actually its just a huge target on your back, unlike the Nepalese slave who irons sheets 10 hours a day, you're actually worth cheating.
The only way to go about this is to be a registered contractor of a company registered in OECD. They must pay you, and vouch for your employer in country, who you work for as an advisor. Realistically you do the exact same job but you get a business visa to provide a commercial service, and are not "a worker"

NTA - you have three months to find a new job if you ever lose your job for any reason or you're technically out of status even if your visa has not expired.
they aren't enforcing this basically but they reserve the right to deny you over it. this isn't really good or stable.
you only think it's fake because you're an unskilled faggot who isn't worth exploiting. btw, this work visa being shit is literally why I started a company here to self-sponsor, which I'm now also being fucked over for.

Japs complain about gaijin not knowing the language and customs but then turn around and shit on anyone who makes a genuine effort to learn them.
If you want to be take the bitchass shrimpdicked attitude that gaijin can never become Japanese no matter how hard they try then more power to you but then don't turn around and whine that gaijin don't assimilate when you remove the only motivation for them to do so in the first place.
You can't have your cake and eat it, cunts.

i get what this guy's trying to say he's just too retarded to actually say it.
there's simply no motivation to assimilate for the majority of foreigners in japan
low-skill:
>you're basically a slave and you've got no path to PR
>going back home to vietnam or whatever in 5 years
>you're probably living with a bunch of other foreigners who speak your language in some company dorm
high-skill:
>you're on an expat relocation package
>work environment likely 100% english, you were sent here to fill a specific role that doesn't require japanese
>you're working for some multinational with other expats or japs who've also worked abroad
>also going home when your placement ends
military:
>self-explanatory, you're on base or a civvie contractor
>you don't even need a visa because of SOFA, yet are counted towards the number of foreign residents lmao
so the only group that actually values assimilation are people who're married to japs, weebs(usually just english teachers or working shitjobs if married), chuds using japan as a getaway from the "falling west" and dissident chinese(weebs/chuds with chinese characteristics).
these are a tiny minority of the foreigners here even though they're the loudest on japan-related message boards like reddit since they've made "living in japan" their whole identity and partake in incestuous online communities where everyone's in the same faggy crab bucket.
